Ill discipline has again crept into the Shop and Save Lautoka soccer team ahead of their opening O-League game against Koloale FC and this has seen 3 key players being dropped.
Striker Kamal Hassan, defender Samu Kautoga and Ilaitia Tuilau will not travel with team to the Solomons after failing to turn up to camp in time on Monday.
President Shalen Prasad said this will not affect their preparation as they have players in the team who can still deliver the result.
Prasad confirmed Navua coach Gurjeet Singh will now guide the Lautoka team for the O-League and he had his first training session with the team yesterday.
This afternoon the sugar city boys will play against the Fiji U-20 in a warm up game before flying to Honiara tomorrow.
Lautoka's opening O-league game on Saturday is against Koloale FC at 3pm in Honiara.
